[Ford-ferguson] MF 35 PTO question

[Chuck Kuecker]

On my Super 90, the clutch has two positions - halfway down disconnects 
the wheel drive; all the way down disconnects engine PTO. In "Ground 
PTO", the PTO is driven off the final drive, and will only turn when the 
tractor is moving. Beware of this - the PTO will reverse if you shift 
into reverse and release the clutch. I don't think the clutch pedal PTO 
disconnect works in Ground, but never tested that.

In "Ground PTO", the PTO shaft moves one revolution for every so many 
feet or inches you travel - I believe on mine it's 20 inches of travel 
per revolution.
